The reason as to why I took inspiration from The Exorcist was because it put across classic conventions of a horror film, however had a twist, which is what i was aiming for in my film. The inspiration for the antagonist also came from this film as the little girl is recreated in my own film in a more contemporary way.
However, the element of SAW ties in with my film too, as the character 'Billy' (Jigsaw's puppet) is also transcended in the makeup and props. Billy uses a tricycle, has a white face with a painted smile and dark vicious eyes. I wanted to take inspiration from this as I thought this would be the best way to make a little girl scary and vicious looking. Furthermore, I also took inspiration from the storyline itself, as I myself agreed with Jigsaw's principles: to punish those who have no respect for themselves or others, and thought this was a good way to distribute a moral message and provide entertainment to the audience. This is the USP of my film also, which can interest my target audience to watch it.
